About Josh Kelley

Josh Kelley crafts music that feels like a genuine conversation—raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal. His blend of pop, rock, and country isn’t overproduced or flashy; it’s honest, capturing the heart of everyday moments.

For Josh, writing a song is like pulling truths out of thin air. He leans into the small, overlooked parts of life—the late‑night drives, the texts you reread, the moments you wish you could press pause on—and turns them into melodies you can’t shake.

Translating Everyday Moments from Song to Leather: Crafting Tangible Stories

Offstage, Josh is just as hands‑on in his workshop as he is behind a mic. He transforms raw hides into one‑of‑a‑kind leather pieces—hand‑sketched, tooled, and painted with precision. Each belt, bag, or wall hanging begins as a simple idea, then evolves through layered patterns and rich textures. Every piece carries its own backstory, marrying craftsmanship with narrative in a way that speaks directly to the soul.

Every note and every stitch opens a window into his world. Whether you’re humming along to a chorus or tracing the grooves of a carved design, Josh’s work—musical or tactile—reminds you that art exists in the honest, everyday moments we often overlook. Dive in and discover stories told through sound and leather, where simplicity and sincerity are always center stage.
